Interactive graphical user interface with override guidance

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by a processing device for causing the processing device to:

• generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a first input component for receiving a first input indicating a dataset for display within the GUI;
• receive the first input indicating the dataset via the first input component, wherein the dataset represents a time-series projection spanning a future time period, and wherein the time-series projection was previously generated by analyzing historical data spanning another time period that is prior to the future time period;
• in response to receiving the first input, generate a graph of the time-series projection within the GUI;
• automatically feed the dataset into a first machine-learning model to obtain an output from the first machine-learning model indicating whether the time-series projection has a data value that should be overridden with an override value;
• in response to the output from the first machine-learning model indicating that the time-series projection has the data value that should be overridden:
• automatically feed the data value as input to a second machine-learning model to obtain an output from the second machine-learning model indicating whether the override value should be greater than or less than the data value;
• and
• automatically render a visual directionality cue within the GUI based on the output from the second machine-learning model, wherein the visual directionality cue is configured to provide guidance about whether the override value should be greater than or less than the data value;
• receive a second input including the override value via a second input component of the GUI;
• in response to receiving the second input, generate another version of the time-series projection in which the data value is overridden with the override value;
• and
• render the other version of the time-series projection within the GUI.

A method for generating a graphical user interface (GUI) with override guidance, the method comprising:

• generating, by a processing device, the GUI, wherein the GUI includes a first input component for receiving a first input indicating a dataset for display within the GUI;
• receiving, by the processing device, the first input indicating the dataset via the first input component, wherein the dataset represents a time-series projection spanning a future time period, and wherein the time-series projection was previously generated by analyzing historical data spanning another time period that is prior to the future time period;
• in response to receiving the first input, generating, by the processing device, a graph of the time-series projection within the GUI;
• automatically feeding, by the processing device, the dataset into a first machine-learning model to obtain an output from the first machine-learning model indicating whether the time-series projection has a data value that should be overridden with an override value;
• in response to the output from the first machine-learning model indicating that the time-series projection has the data value that should be overridden:
• automatically feeding, by the processing device, the data value as input to a second machine-learning model to obtain an output from the second machine-learning model indicating whether the override value should be greater than or less than the data value;
• and
• automatically rendering, by the processing device, a visual directionality cue within the GUI based on the output from the second machine-learning model, wherein the visual directionality cue is configured to provide guidance about whether the override value should be greater than or less than the data value;
• receiving, by the processing device, a second input including the override value via a second input component of the GUI;
• in response to receiving the second input, generating, by the processing device, another version of the time-series projection in which the data value is overridden with the override value;
• and
• rendering, by the processing device, the other version of the time-series projection within the GUI.
